Synopsis

[edit]

Magali is the moll of a gang leader, but jealous of his behaviour towards a younger woman she threatens to go the police and inform about his activities. The gangster wants her silenced and turns to Mario, a retired criminal, to do the hit. Reluctantly he agrees but approaches the police for help, who advise him to play along with the scheme. When Magali is then found murdered, suspicion naturally turns to Mario.
